Before MURPHY, SMITH, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       The district court1 revoked the supervised release of Thomas E. Simmons, Jr.,
and sentenced him to prison. The court later granted the government’s Federal Rule
of Criminal Procedure 35(b) motion and reduced his sentence. Simmons filed notices
of appeal from both sentences. In Appeal No. 06-2904, we affirm the judgment of the
district court, noting that counsel makes no argument in his brief regarding the
original revocation sentence. We dismiss Appeal No. 06-3907, in which counsel
argues that the reduced sentence is unreasonable, because we lack jurisdiction to

Court for the Western District of Missouri.

35(b). See United States v. Haskins, 
479 F.3d 955
, 957 (8th Cir. 2007) (per curiam).
Last, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
